government, and arrested in 1959 on a heroin conviction. Zwillman hanged himself on February 27, 1959, upon being summonsed to appear at the Valachi hearings. Most of Zwillman's illegal gambling rackets were taken over by members of the Jersey faction. According to the Valachi hearings, the upper administration of the Genovese family included acting boss Thomas "Tommy Ryan" Eboli, Underboss Jerry Catena and consigliere Michele "Mike" Miranda. Throughout the 1960s, Catena continued to work with the upper administration. In 1970, he was subpoenaed to testify in Newark, but refused to answer any questions and was held in contempt. Catena was sentenced to five years in prison; after his 1975 release, he retired to Florida. Provenzano and the Teamsters Anthony "Tony Pro" Provenzano became one of the most powerful capos in New Jersey with his connection to Teamsters Union (IBT) leader Jimmy Hoffa. Provenzano served as vice president of the IBT's Union City branch during the 1950s. In that office, Provenzano was able to embezzle money from the union's pension fund, receive kickbacks from construction companies to work on sites, and use his title as a legitimate source of income. Both Provenzano and Hoffa were imprisoned in the mid-1960s for their part in the corruption of the union. In the early 1970s, both men were out from prison. On July 30, 1975, Hoffa disappeared after setting off for a secret meeting with Provenzano and Detroit's Anthony Giacalone. In 1978, Provenzano was convicted of embezzling from the union. He eventually died in prison in 1988.

Manna would oversee the New Jersey factions with help from his top aid Lawrence "Larry Fab" Dentico. Months later, on March 21, 1980, Philadelphia boss Angelo "Gentle Don" Bruno was murdered. The killing prompted discussions and plans by the Genovese and Gambino families to take over Bruno's criminal operations. The negotiations proceeded without incident until the murder of Gambino boss Paul "Big Paul" Castellano in late 1985. Manna was displeased over John Gotti's unsanctioned hit of Castellano and his accession as new boss, but he continued discussing the takeover of Bruno's operations. By 1987, the relationship between the two families had deteriorated. Gotti had sent word to Manna that the Genovese family should take over
